3. Inflammation During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is considered by many to be one of the most wonderful things that can ever happen to them, and it’s true that pregnancy is a blessing for many people – but let’s not forget the fact that pregnancy can also be extremely taxing on the body, and this is something that a lot of first-time mothers aren’t properly prepared for beforehand.
A variety of different symptoms are associated with the average nine months of pregnancy, including increased urination, pressure in the bladder, changes in mood cycles, experiencing insomnia, added pressure on the body’s joints due to the changes and weight, water retention and often pain in the joints and lower back.
In many cases of pregnancy, the pressure placed on the spine and sacroiliac joints because of the added weight of pregnancy can sometimes be a common cause for sacroiliitis. If this describes you, make an appointment with your doctor and discuss possible treatment options safe for pregnancy to reduce the strain.
